NASA, 45th SW FSA Unveil Spaceport's 50-year Vision of the Future
by Kennedy Space Center
The government leaders of the Space Coast will officially unveil their
first-of-its-kind 50-year vision of the future of America's premiere Spaceport
during ceremonies held August 28, 2002. NASA, the 45th Space Wing and Florida Space
Authority will officially endorse the Cape Canaveral Spaceport Master Plan during a
signing ceremony held at Port Canaveral's Terminal 10 at 9:30 a.m.
Mr. Roy Bridges, Director, Kennedy Space Center, Brig. Gen. Greg Pavlovich,
Commander, 45th Space Wing and Edmond Gormel, Executive Director, Florida Space
Authority, will represent their respective agencies. Also represented at the
official ceremony will be four agencies committed to be cooperative partners in the
master plan. They are the Canaveral Port Authority, National Park Service, the
Naval Ordnance Test Unit and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Many national,
state and local government and business officials have also been invited to the
event.
During the ceremony, details of the 50-year plan will be revealed. The master plan
provides a collective vision for Spaceport development for the next half century
and represents a continued committed partnership among the Cape's major government
agencies.
Two years in the making, the vision gives the Spaceport a comprehensive land use
plan that supports a market-based business model. This agreement will advance
interagency cooperation creating a world-class spaceport for space exploration,
national defense and commerce, while leading aerospace research and development. At
the same time, it ensures maintaining exemplary stewardship of our natural
environment as a top priority.
The ultimate goal of this endeavor is to maintain the spaceport's status as the
premiere gateway to space for the next half century and beyond.
